'Meet the Team' event Friday

Ducks players, coaches and management personnel are scheduled to attend a "Meet the Team'' function at 7 p.m. Friday at historic Mission San Juan Capistrano.

The wine-tasting event, presented by OCRegister.com, will benefit the Ducks Foundation and Register Charities.

The outdoor gardens and adobe-brick walls of the "Jewel of the Missions" will serve as the backdrop for the intimate event, giving guests the opportunity to taste a variety of wines provided by Young's Market Company while mingling with their favorite players. Wines will be specially paired with appetizers prepared by Hyatt Regency Caterers.

Silent-auction items will include a watch party for 10 in the Ducks locker room and a training session with Ducks strength and conditioning coach Sean Skahan. Raffle prizes will also be available.

The event will take place one night after the Ducks open the NHL regular season on the road against the San Jose Sharks, and two nights before Sunday's home opener against the Phoenix Coyotes at Honda Center.

Tickets for "Meet the Team," priced at $225 per person, are available through the Ducks community relations department at 1-877-WILD WING. The event is for persons 21 and older only.
